Predeased by father Donald Douglas. Garry was a devoted professional whose mantra was integrity, innovation and excellence. He was a dedicated project manager at Kawartha Lakes Construction for the past five years. He was a great inspiration and mentor to many people. Garry was always willing to share his knowledge and time and knew how to bring out the best in people. He loved fishing, music, golf, hockey and curling. Born in Thunder Bay, he was passionate about Northern Ontario and the First Nation communities. Garry worked from Sioux Lookout for over fifteen years both as an independent project manager and with Keewatin-Aski Ltd. Consulting Engineers. During that time Garry travelled to and lived in many many remote First Nation communities managing projects with his wealth of experience and personal charm. No one could ever forget Garry and all the positives he brought to his work. Garry was very proud of his Finnish heritage.
